The wild and dusty plains of Africa are our destination now as we check out this high quality online slot from Betsoft Gaming; it’s called Safari Sam and it’s all about the adventures of this moustachioed chap as he searches for wild animals on the savannah. There are three bonus features to enjoy and you can read all about it below.

Safari Sam is a five reel slot with three rows and up to thirty paylines; graphically it’s amazing with a quality which is almost realistic and the reels spin between two trees on the grassy landscape. Sam stands to one side, occasionally being surprised by the attentions of a native girl.

All the symbols are related to the theme and include Sam, the girl, a lion, a gorilla, a zebra, a monkey, Sam’s tent, his vehicle and a view of him sleeping.

The wild symbol is a big ‘Wild’ which we shall explain in more detail below and there are two scatters – Sam using his binoculars and a sunset view.

Bonus Features

Random Wilds

Wild symbols will pop up randomly during a spin and these will come with multipliers of 2x, 3x, 5x or 10x to help you out with bigger wins.

Wild Animals Free Spins

This is triggered by landing the gorilla, the zebra and the monkey in any order consecutively on payline one for which you will receive a number of free spins. First you must select one of those animals to be a 2x wild multiplier for those spins.

Stacked Collapsing Wins

The symbols may appear stacked on the reels and if an entire reel is full of one type they will collapse into the bottom one when the spin has stopped and pay out for that combo. More symbols then fall into the top two places and these can form more winning combos (although they can’t trigger any bonuses).

Safari Sam Bonus

This is a picking round triggered by landing three or more of the Sam/binoculars scatter symbols anywhere in view and first you must choose a destination for Sam to make for. Then select points on the map to spot animals and reveal prizes until you hit the ‘collect’ spot.

Gamble Feature

After any base game win you can click the ‘Double Up’ button to play a heads/tails game and try to double that amount.

Verdict

Until now we may never have played a slot as high quality as Safari Sam; the gameplay doesn’t let it down either with lots of great animations and numerous bonus features to keep things interesting.
